Spiritual Software Developer

Namaste All.

I was listening to Deepak Chopra the other day when he was discussing the difference between our brain and our mind. He gave the analogy that our brain is the hardware but our mind is the software. What does that mean. It means that our brain is simply a tool that transmits data or information. Whereas, your mind is the operating system that tells your brain how to interpret the data.

That is a key distinction for us to understand as the owners and operators of these spiritual computers known as our bodies. We need to know how to produce the best output. In other words, we have to understand how to manifest that which is for our highest and greatest good.

We all know who Bill Gates is. He is the founder of Microsoft and considered one of the richest, if not the richest man in the world. Although many people may say that he invented the computer, this is not true. Bill Gates revolutionized the computer with the most successful operating system in the world. Called windows.

Today I will discuss becoming your own Spiritual Bill Gates to design the best operating system for you. There are three components to consider:

Data (the information) – This consists of the input from all your senses taste, touch, sight sound, and smell. The things that we experience, sense, even the emotions we have.

Brain (the hardware) – This is the tool. Its purpose is to transmit the data or information with its different parts, the four lobes, the two hemispheres, the neurons and synapse, etc. These are the mechanics. Like the mouse, keyboard, hard drive, motherboard etc.

Mind (the Software) – it tells the hardware how to interpret the data that it is receiving. This is the part of the system that we have to master in order to become our own Spiritual Bill Gates. We have to design the best operating system for our brain. How do we do that? We need to develop the code that will help the brain best interpret the data or information that it is transmitting. That means understanding the spiritual laws that govern us, so that we can best use our imagination and understanding to interpret the data.

For example, every piece of data that your brain transmits and interprets can be filtered through a fear-based operating system. So that the thoughts and feelings you have about every situation can be seen from the point of view of a victim, where you are constantly being wronged, nobody likes, you are not worthy. Your understanding of events become warped. You begin to imagine that everything is happening to you. What kind of results or output do you think will manifest in your life? Instances of victimization and abuse. Feelings of being overwhelmed and underappreciated. You feel like you have no control and you end up taking no responsibility for anything. That nothing that is for your highest and greatest good. And that, you will get nothing that you really desire.

Unfortunately, that type of programming will produce exactly those types of experiences. Like attracts like. Or in computer terms: IF THIS THEN THAT.

But you have given the power of choice. You can choose which operating system to install. Even if you have used the same operating system for the majority of your life, you have the ability to change it. You can be like Microsoft. After a while, an operating system becomes obsolete. They encourage you to change and upgrade to newer and better operating system. And at the end of its life cycle they will no longer support or put out any fixes for that obsolete system.

That is the same thing you must learn to do. When your operating system becomes obsolete (error thinking, limiting beliefs, no longer serves you) you must update or install a new one. And if you install an operating system based on love, compassion, kindness, gratitude, and oneness. Then, your brain will interpret the exact same data in an entirely different way. The thoughts and feelings that we have about each situation will be an opportunity for growth, a lesson to be learned, an experience to be had. Then, you begin to imagine that everything is happening for you. Guess what kind of output you will get with that operating system. That everything is in Divine order and is happening for your highest and greatest good.

You must also do software updates and maintenance on your computer on a regular basis. That is your prayer and meditation. It makes sure that everything running smoothly and helps with those shift that expands and increases our consciousness and understanding.

Even with the best operating system and maintenance schedule malware, or a virus might get introduced into your system. That is when you use your antivirus software…your affirmations and denials to cleanse the malicious software that might get introduced into the system.

Don’t let anyone else design and input and operating system into your computer. Be like Bill Gates and become the Chief Software Developer for your life that will help you to call forth and manifest the desires of your heart.

Today’s affirmations is:

“I AM the Chief Software Developer of My Life, and I Manifest all for My Highest and Greatest Good.”

Strengthening your alignment with Spirit- Mind Body, and Soul

Namaste All! I am Rev. Drea, your Spiritual Chiropractor, and March is represented by the Spiritual faculty of Strength. So, I want to speak with you about how you can use this faculty to strengthen your alignment with Spirit.

Strength is the confidence and fortitude to take the next step. In II Corinthians, Chapter 5, we read, “I walk by faith not by sight”. In life, when you are presented with a challenge that makes you want to crawl under a blanket, it is the faculty of strength that gives you the ability to open up to divine guidance and move forward, one step at a time.

This strength is the ability to hang on when you are just beginning on the path and you want to shrink away and turn back because it looks too difficult. It is the quality of endurance, which keeps you from sinking when you find yourself out in the middle too far away to turn back, yet feeling weary and unable to see how you can complete the rest of the journey.

Finally, Strength keeps you centered and on point when you see what you think is the end in sight. It keeps you from rushing headlong into the mirage.

Being lifted in Divine Strength is like being on a ropes course, a tree-top experience, where you find you are climbing above your fears and balancing beyond your reach.  Life gives us daily opportunities to exercise our Spiritual faculty of Strength.

Some opportunities ask us to do the next thing when we think we can’t. Some ask us to keep our mouth shut when we want to complain or get into someone else’s business. Some opportunities ask us to say no when we think we should say yes, and vice versa. We are never alone in any state of weakness.

Divine strength accompanies us in thought, word, and deed. As scripture says in Matthew 24:22 “Be ye also ready” we must prepare ourselves for the way strength will manifest in our lives. Here are some ways to engage with your faculty of strength as you align with Spirit.

1. Become still. William Warch in his book How to Use Your Twelve Gifts from God tells us “One of the wonderful ways strength manifests itself in your consciousness is in the form of patience. Patience is calm, uncomplaining endurance. It is persistent courage. Whenever you need to be courageous in a situation, all you need to do is become still.” As you still your thoughts, your actions, that stillness will allow you to acknowledge alignment with Spirit in the situation. You will gain clarity of the situation and an understanding of what the next right move is for the circumstance that you face.

2. Create Balance in your life. A well-balanced person is truly strong. If someone pushes you but you have both your feet firmly planted and grounded in Truth, you are strong. So strive for balance in all aspects of your life. Thought and feelings, work and rest/play, intellect and intuition, giving and receiving. This will truly strengthen your alignment with Spirit.

3. Know your Why. Go back to the Intention you set at the beginning of the year and reflect on why you chose it. Knowing why can give a great strength of purpose. As you experience life, you make better decisions if you have clarity about our intention. If you enter into any situation without knowing your why, that is when you can be tossed to and fro by the circumstances of life, instead of standing firm in the truth of who you are. Setting and living a life of intention and understanding your why will help you honor your alignment with Spirit regardless of the circumstance.

Take time to be still, create balance in your life and get to know your why, what wakes you up in the morning. These things will help you to grow stronger in mind, body and spirit and will in turn strengthen your alignment with the Universal Divine Flow of life and all that it has for you.

Today’s affirmation is:

“I acknowledge, honor and strengthen my alignment with the Universal Divine Flow of Life.”
